The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City kicked off with a drama-filled first season. And while filming for season 2, the Bravo newbies rocked the entire franchise with Jen Shah's sudden shocking arrest. Now, after wrapping production for RHOSLC season 2, Heather Gay is teasing how the "five horsemen of drama" will carry the show.
The newest set of Real Housewives set off their inaugural season with a bang. Jen proved to be the drama queen among the group, ending the season as someone who got into a spat with every single cast member. Alas, Heather showed that she wasn't afraid to speak her mind and tell it like it is among the bunch of strong personalities. Mary Cosby left the viewers and her co-stars completely confused over her lifestyle choices. Whitney Rose's transparency with her father's addiction was appreciated by the fans. Meredith Marks and Lisa Barlow's posh lifestyles and clicky behavior rubbed some Real Housewives the wrong way. But the dynamic made for a perfect second season and reeled in enough fans to greenlight the series for another season.
With Jen Shah already stealing the spotlight on The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City before the new season even released a teaser trailer, the viewers are extremely eager to take in the new season. Now that the ladies have finished filming, Heather can safely hint at what fans can expect from the new Bravolebrities. “It is all the five horseman of drama,” she shared on the So Bad It’s Good with Ryan Bailey podast. “I mean, you’ve got intrigue, and crime, and passion, and loyalty, and friendships all on the backdrop of Salt Lake City, Utah,” Heather said. Sounds like the plot of a mystery thriller, but this is the Real Housewives we're talking about, after all.
With Jen's arrest taking place while the ladies were in the middle of filming a scene, Heather revealed how real the experience became for the entire cast. “What I can say is this is the biggest, hugest thing that has happened to our community, and to our group of friends, and to Jen personally, and to me personally,” she said. With the show taking place in a city where the Mormon church is headquartered, RHOSLC has the most religious cast of women within the Real Housewives franchise.
Heather thinks that the drama on RHOSLC season 2 is so intense that it will make some fans doubt if it's even real. "It’s all very, very real, but it’s also hyper-realized," she explained. "I don’t think anything’s bigger or more hyper-realized than a federal indictment or your friend facing prison. Like, this is hyper-realized drama, but it’s real, and it’s happening.” The Beauty Lab owner says the ladies are being supportive of Jen through the stressful experience, which is surprising considering how poorly Jen treated everyone last season on Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. We're sure that viewers will be locked in to see how all the crazy real-life drama will play out.
